4.9.1 Channels to Log
The Enable Logging check box initiates logging. You can save current log data to a TXT file
(.txt) with space-separated fields.
You must select a channel to log. Channels are USB3 device channels linked to an
appropriate camera interface. The following options are available:
Control Channel
. This is a data interface linked to the camera's Device Control Interface
(DCI). The DCI is dedicated to camera parameters control. It sends and receives the data
displayed on the Camera Parameters panel. DCI is bi-directional, enabling data transfers
from the host computer to the camera or from the camera to the host computer.
Stream Channel
. This links to the camera's Device Stream Interface (DSI). The DSI is
dedicated to transferring video data from the camera to the host computer.
Event Channel
. This links to the camera's Device Event Interface (DEI). The DEI notifies the
host computer software about any events on the camera side. For example, the camera
can notify the software that it received the trigger signal.
4.10 Statistics Panel
The Statistics panel displays camera performance and other information based on settings
